School of Science and Technology (SST)

Annual Accomplishment Summary 2017-2018 Dean Lynn Stauffer, Ph.D. MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS for 2017-18 Aligned with the strategic priorities identified in SSU’s Strategic Plan 2018-2025:

1. STUDENT SUCCESS • With GI 2025 funding, the first SST Academic Advisor and MESA Coordinator was hired and the SST Student Success and MESA Center was launched with the vision of providing an inclusive and interactive environment for student learning, assistance, and engagement toward students achieving their academic and personal goals. • Science & Technology faculty are committed to effective teaching as evidenced by Student Evaluation of Teaching Effectiveness (SETE) aggregate scores that report SST faculty are rated as “Very Effective” across all evaluation criteria. With more than 7040 student responses (Fall 2017) and on a 5 point scale, SST faculty averaged scores well above 4.0 (very effective) and amongst the highest rated were: “displayed competence in course topics” (4.53/5.0), “displayed enthusiasm for teaching the course” (4.51/5.0), “respects different points of view” (4.42/5.0) and “my instructor is actively helpful when student have problems” (4.38/5.0).

2. ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE and INNOVATION • Facilities supporting student learning and engagement opened this year: o SSU Makerspace – this collaborative space opened in the SSU Library in Fall 2017. A $580K National Science Foundation Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE) grant funded this cutting-edge innovation space. New GE course SCI 220: Dream, Make and Innovate is being offered (Area E). o SSU Observatory building – the original 41-year old structure was replaced with a state- of-the-art split roof observatory and telescopes were refurbished; ribbon cutting and public viewing night was held on September 8, 2017. • Faculty sought opportunities to innovate in their classrooms: o Collaboration (NSF subaward) with UC Berkeley on Transforming College Teaching: Statewide Implementation of the Faculty Learning Program to Improve STEM Undergraduate Teaching and Learning continued this year with two faculty cohorts focused on active and engaged learning strategies (with the SSU Faculty Center). o Immersive learning (VR/AR/XR) initiative advanced with students in two large GE courses (Introductory Astronomy (ASTR 100) and Introductory Biology (BIO 110)) engaging in immersive learning experiences. o Expanded Geology laboratory facilities with new set of petrographic analytical tools that allow students and others to collect first order data to describe and classify rock samples. • The Mathematics & Statistics Department is a change leader in the CSU reforming the developmental math curriculum to better serve underprepared students. With funding from the graduation initiative (GI2025), the department ran pilot sections for four new stretch courses in 2017-18. All remedial math courses have been eliminated for 2018-19.

• The national LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory) Meeting was held at SSU in March 2018. The meeting brings together the top scientists in the breakthrough area of gravitational waves.

3. LEADERSHIP CULTIVATION • The 6th Annual SSU Science Symposium – a culminating experience rooted in the School's teacher- scholar faculty model was held on May 2, 2018. The Symposium featured over 160 posters representing the work of over 400 student contributors. Program and poster abstracts at web.sonoma.edu/scitech/symposium/2018_Symposium%20Program.pdf. Student Symposium Ambassadors were added this year – providing a valuable retention experience for lower division students. • SSU’s first Girls Tinker Academy is being held in Summer 2018. With support from the Community Women Investing in STEM Equity (CWISE) initiative of the Sonoma County Career Technical Education Foundation, the two-week program for middle-school girls is an example of the work SST is doing in our community to broaden participation in STEM. SST student mentors are part of the program with the intent of supporting participants beyond the two-week experience. • The SST Summer 2018 High School Internship (SHIP) program is in its 11th year. SHIP pairs outstanding Sonoma County high school students in the summer between their junior and senior year with Sonoma State faculty mentors to explore research questions in science. SHIP is a partnership between SST and the Sonoma County Office of Education Foundation.

4. TRANSFORMATIVE IMPACT • SST inspires young people to pursue STEM studies and careers at the North Bay Discovery Day. Over 15,000 attended the event in Fall 2017. Multiple SST departments staffed hands-on exhibits and demonstrations as part of this transformative community event. • SST hosted the Expanding Your Horizons conference this year. EYH seeks to connect girls with the fun, interesting and meaningful careers in STEM. SST faculty, staff and students were instrumental in the one-day conference. • SST sponsored the broad-reaching fire ecology symposium Living with Fire in California’s Coast Ranges held at SSU in May 2018. Cal Fire and US Forest Service were also major sponsors. SUMMARY of ACCOMPLISHMENTS (based on faculty self-reporting; not all faculty responded) A. PUBLICATIONS 1. Biology a.
